Nate and his family have had a rough time these past five months since bacteria was found around his heart in April that lead to his need of a new heart. Thankfully Nate's story has a happy ending: he received a heart transplant in early July. Unfortunately, there are many others that are not as fortunate as Nate and are still waiting for their second chance at life.
